I looked up to see the person that had evidently saved me from that embarrassing fall and then my eyes were blessed with one of the most handsome werewolves that I've ever seen in my entire life he looks so majestic.
As if he have had walked out of a painting and was not even part of reality, he gently helped me off to my feet as I thanked him profusely but he didn't respond with anything more than a nod and his face was completely expressionless so much so that I could not tell if he was upset that I had fallen in his way and he had to grab me and I was suddenly feeling self-conscious about myself but still thankful then his eyes came over to my husband and said in a monotone voice that was low and deep and velvety.
Yet filled with so much command.
This was the Lycan King, I had heard so much about him but I've never really gotten the chance to see him in person and knowing that he has just saved me from such an embarrassing fall made me a little giddy.
"Are we going to begin the conference now or do you need a little time to sort out your family *issues*...?"
I saw my husband's face become instantly red with embarrassment as if he had fallen on his face instead of me.
"There are no issues at all, please do not worry we were simply just joking with each other so of course we can begin the conference now…"
The Lycan King give my husband a long-drawn-out look even though without any expression it looks as if he was suspicious of the words that he had said but then decided not to question It for reasons best known to him as he turned around and said fine leading the conference.
By the time he was out of earshot I heard my husband saying to my nasty sister that he was going to help her fully vent out her anger on me but at another time, and the fact that he was saying that when I was close enough to hear him made my heart pang with pain but I decided to ignore it and put on my best show for the guests.
After saying that to my sister he then walked over to me and grabbed my hand and pulling it with almost enough force to separate it from the rest of my body and hissed;"Let's go,"
As we were heading to the venue for the conference my ears were filled with information about the Lycan King, it seems as if everyone was talking about him and so I took my attention from Eden who wasn't even glancing at me I noticed that he was looking at Nikini and from time to time their eyes would meet.
I couldn't bear to see that and so I invested my attention in the one that they called Arnou.
"Do you know that he's the youngest Lycan King in history?!"
I heard someone say and many people gasped after he said that.
"How can someone so young handle the duties of a Lycan King? He must really be one of a kind!"
"Oh I wish that the moon goddess had made me his fated mate that will make me the happiest woman on Earth!"
I heard somebody helplessly swoon as if she was going to faint if Arnou even looked at her and then the people around her instantly began to laugh.
"Don't get your hopes up too high," a man with a mature voice said.
"There is a reason why he hasn't found his mate till now you know that Lycans are different from other wolves like ourselves, they don't have fated mates rather they choose who they are going to lov-"
The matured sounding man was not even done talking when a woman cut him to his words.
"I don't know who told you that but I heard very differently…"
"Oh what did you hear?" The man replied with a bit of mockery in his voice and then the slight hint of annoyance that his words had been cut short.
"Well if you must know I heard that they are actually gifted fitted mates but it's just so rare and precious doesn't that just make your heart melt?"
I realised that I had been paying too much attention to the crowd and their conversation when my husband's fingers landed on my wrist and he pulled me till I was walking at the same pace as him.
"Can you just behave yourself?" He said in mind link, his finger sinking into my wrist like needles.
"You are such a pain I can't stand you,"
I immediately brought my attention back to the walk because I didn't want him to yell at me anymore but I was sure that in a short while I will make another unforgivable mistake that would lead to him scolding me like a child once again.
We finally arrived at the venue and it was very beautifully decorated, but in a short while I was already fed up because once again I was pushed to the background like a wallflower and it was almost as if I did not exist.
That wouldn't have been so bad since I was mostly used to my husband either totally ignoring me or only acknowledging my presence with annoyance but it was part of us that he kept making eyes at my sister when I was right there with guests around us.
I needed a breath of fresh air and so I excused myself and went out into the garden.
As I was taking my time to leave the conference nobody was even paying attention to me or even acting as if the Luna that was hosting the annual gala was leaving at all.
Instead I saw everyone clustering around my sister as if she was some newly discovered gem, everybody wanted to start up a conversation with her.
Everybody wanted to talk with her and be around her while everyone else avoided me as if I was the plague personified.
I put one foot in front of the other and then suddenly the heel of my shoe was knocked off and I almost fell but quickly balanced myself looking at the last of the high heel shoes that I had great now if any events came I would have to wear flats!
Tears immediately began to bubble at the corner of my eyes.
Was I even the Luna at all or mainly just a figurehead that was holding that position for my sister?
I could just imagine my husband packing out my things one day and then telling me to make room for him and my sister.
It wasn't hard for my mind to already imagine that vivid snake-like smile that would cover her face while I was being thrown out by the guards on my nose like a piece of trash.
I'm sure that nobody will even bother to defend me, it was obvious that the public also thought that my sister would be better Luna than me.
Maybe they were even some people that were waiting with their hands crossed for me to finally be thrown out of my home.
What should I do then when their relationship will finally become public?
I was a little surprised because of fresh breeze that bathed my face actually made me feel a little bit better, and seeing the beautiful flowers around instead of guests judging me and everything that I was wearing was much better as well.
However I was so lost in the new saying that I became a little airheaded and as I was walking down I did not pay enough attention and I missed a step.
Before I knew it my face was once again for the second time that day heading towards the ground and this time it was already going to be more painful than the first one would have been because I was still on the stairs I closed my eyes waiting for the impact but it never came rather I felt myself hanging mid air and a pair of strong hands on my waist.
For the second time I looked up and I saw that the person that said saved me was actually the Lycan King Arnou.
He helped me up to My feet again which took a little while longer than last time since I had a missing heel. Once again I could see that there was no expression on his face. Was he always like this?
"You need to be a little more careful than this, the heel of your shoe was already broken and you kept walking with it. If you continue like this you will always keep falling…"
There was a strange light feeling in my chest at that moment.
He was actually scolding me but not the way my husband scolded me with rage and bitterness and fury. Rather, I could hear concern and caring.
His voice was so gentle and calming.
Her eyes were not coming enough for me to forget that his hand was on my waist and that was inappropriate. I was about to kindly ask him to let go when a familiar voice bumped into my ears and I looked and saw my husband standing behind him.
Eden's face was as red as a tomato that was on the verge of exploding from being compressed and then he said;"what is the meaning of this?"
***WET GREEN PACK****DACIANA’S POV*I gulped down nothing, my throat tunnel closing against each other roughly because of it dryness that seemed to cool down my the saliva that ran through. A small groan escaped my lips and I darted my eyes to the side, the translucent glass, my eyelids straining to get the perfect sharpness of the Pack members that were passing by. It was just 4am but everyone was up working, they were probably the farmers or warriors.I turned my face back to the wall in front of me and sighed out tiredly, moving my hand to the edge of the bed, I gripped unto the wood tightly and tried to stand up but it was futile. “ah.” I shrieked out in pain and my eyes lowered to protruded tummy which was now twenty inches up, well, that was what the Pack nurse told me the last time she came to check on me. And oh Lord, the baby kicked real hard this time.Succeeding on gripping the bed’s wood tightly without my hand slipping out, I finally stood up, place my hand on the glass
Daciana slowly opened her eyes, the cool morning light filtering into her room. As she stretched beneath the soft covers, the familiar pang of sadness settled deep within her. Three months pregnant, yet still yearning for the love she so desperately craved.The thought of the kiss, or would she term it as intimate? Well if it was that it was surely a one sided feeling, which was the exact reason why she pushed him away the first time he kissed her, but her control level was not fortified to the extent of rejecting someone as sexy as he was.Which filled her with hope that something good might come out of the relationship if she is persistent. Today was an important day - she had a doctor's appointment, and she needed someone by her side, she had dealt with the pregnancy all alone all this when and the sudden realization that she wasn't just carrying an ordinary baby, she was carrying the heir to Arnou's pack. Does the treatment she received in the pack exactly what she was supposed to
Daciana, her silver fur glistening under the bright sunlight, paced back and forth in the courtyard, her swollen belly protruding with the precious cargo she carried. Despite the weight, she was determined to continue her training, for the safety of her unborn pups. With each step, she felt a sense of pride and determination, knowing that she had to be strong for them.As she lunged forward, instinctively practicing her hunting skills, a sudden force knocked her off balance. She was slammed against the rough stone wall, the impact jarring her entire body. Daciana cried out in pain and surprise, her heart racing as she recognized the scent of her ex-mate, Eden, an alpha wolf who had once ruled over their pack.Tears welled up in her eyes as a flood of emotions washed over her. She didn't want to see Eden, for their past was filled with heartache and betrayal. She had found solace and love in her new pack, a place where she could start afresh, leaving behind the pain and sorrow. But her
The moors stretched out before Eden, as he stood atop a rocky outcrop. The chilly wind whipped through his dark hair, but he paid it no mind, his focus solely on the scene unfolding below. His men, led by the loyal and fearsome Captain Ragnor, were preparing for an attack. Their target? An innocent pack, residing peacefully in the neighboring forest.Eden's lip curled into a sinister grin as he watched his men sharpen their swords and adjust their armor. It wasn't enough for him to simply dominate his own pack; he yearned to expand his power, to rule over all werewolves in the region. And he was willing to spill innocent blood to achieve his twisted ambitions.Just as the sun sank below the horizon, casting an eerie glow over the moors, a figure approached from the distance. It was Damon, Eden's beta, returning from a scouting mission. He was taken aback as he surveyed the scene below and saw Eden's intentions. Disapproval flashed across his face, evident even from this distance."Dam
In the depths of a dimly lit room, Eden, sat at the head of a long table surrounded by his secret men. Their faces were shrouded in shadows, protecting their identities as they plotted their devious schemes. Greed consumed their thoughts as they discussed how to secretly attack a rival pack, the Moonstone Pack, and claim their territory.Eden, known for his cruelty and calculating nature, leaned back in his chair, his piercing eyes cold and devoid of compassion. His voice held a sinister edge as he spoke to his men, "Gentlemen, the Moonstone Pack poses a potential threat to our dominance. We must act swiftly and decisively if we are to maintain our stronghold in these lands. Tonight, we shall plan their demise."The whispers of agreement filled the room as the men exchanged glances, knowing well the consequences of failure under Eden's rule. One by one, they presented their hideous plans, each more malicious than the last. The air tainted with the stench of malevolence as they discuss
Arnou sat in his office, a mix of frustration and disbelief etched on his face. His mother's meddling had reached new heights, and he couldn't fathom why she would try to break his budding relationship with Daciana by bringing Lillian into the mix. He had always believed in the possibility of building a deep connection with Daciana, and it pained him to think that someone so close to him would attempt to sabotage it.As he ruminated, a knock echoed through the room, and the door creaked open. His Gamma, John, entered cautiously, noting the tension in Arnou's features. "Alpha, is everything alright?"Arnou has been close to John, thankfully he was back and much better than grumpy Daniel.Arnou sighed deeply, his voice tinged with frustration. "No, John. My mother has gone too far this time. She's trying to interfere with my relationship with Daciana by bringing Lillian into it. I can't believe she would stoop so low."John's brows furrowed as he took in the news. "That's...unfortunate,
Daciana's eyes fluttered open as she slowly woke from a deep slumber, her head pounding with a ferocious headache. She groaned softly, struggling to remember what had happened the night before. As the memories began to flood back, her heart sank once again.Arnou had betrayed her, his lips locked with another woman's, a painful reminder that their relationship held no love or respect. A mixture of anger, sadness, and disappointment swirled within her, intensifying her headache.She dragged herself out of bed and stumbled towards the bathroom, her mind still reeling from the events of the previous night. The cool water splashed against her face, providing some relief from the throbbing ache. As she stared at her reflection in the mirror, Daciana made a promise to herself - she would no longer allow Arnou to bring her pain. She deserved better, and so did her unborn child.Just as she was freshening up, Selena entered the room with a basket of fresh fruits, a warm smile gracing her face
"How could you Daciana?" Selena yelled frantically as soon as she got to Daciana's room."W-hat are you talking about Selena?" Daciana asked, swallowing a lump that formed in her throat already."Yeah right. From taking abortion inquiries behind my back to denying that you don't know anything about it." "I'm sorry Selena, please forgive me. I didn't mean to keep it away from you." Daciana pleaded."Fine." Selena grumbled, still a bit unpleased but she clearly understood Daciana and would do anything to support her -----Selena carefully adjusted the delicate straps of Daciana's gown, her nimble fingers working swiftly to ensure every seam lay perfectly against her friend's body. The deep blue fabric clung to Daciana's curves, accentuating her natural beauty. Selena never knew that Daciana was this beautiful . As her hands smoothed over the material, Selena couldn't help but notice the tension emanating from her friend."I don't know why you bother," Daciana muttered, avoiding Selen
Arnou sat behind his large oak desk in his dimly lit office, engulfed in his thoughts of pack matters. He had been consumed by paperwork and pressing issues, barely even noticing the passing of time. His mind has been wrapped in lot of thoughts that weighed him down, thinking of Daciana his future with her and her baby.He for a certain that he didn't love her or anything, but he knew she intrigued and amazed him lately. He found himself getting lost just staring at her as she laughed with Selena. And he didn't also miss the sudden closeness between Daciana and Daniel. He wasn't jealous and he knew that.There was no way he was having feelings for her.Suddenly, a knock at the door brought him back to reality."Come in," Arnou said in a gruff voice, his gaze fixed on the piles of paperwork awaiting his attention.The door opened, revealing the pack's Physician, Mr. Almond. He was a man of middle age, with graying hair and a gentle demeanor that masked his years of experience in his pr
